Woman Soaking a Cloth in a Bowl Held by a Girl (copy from Guercino's Saint Sebastian Tended by Irene)

After Guercino (Giovanni Francesco Barbieri) Italian

Not on view

This sheet is clearly related to the two female figures - Irene with a young girl - seen at the far left of the "Saint Sebastian Tanded by Irene" painted by Guercino in 1619 (now Bologna, Pinacoteca Nazionale inv. 6483). However the Museum's drawing is in reverse of the figures in the Bologna canvas and may be a studio counterproof copy of an original drawing by Guercino.
